Dependent Vowel

Famous quotes containing the words dependent and/or vowel:

“The mother whose self-image is dependent on her children places on those children the responsibility for her own identity, and her involvement in the details of their lives can put great pressure on the children. A child suffers when everything he or she does is extremely important to a parent; this kind of over-involvement can turn even a small problem into a crisis.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)

“Brute animals have the vowel sounds; man only can utter consonants.”
